Subject: S3 on a Compaq Evo N610c

Hi all,
I've got a scary storie to tell. The other day I was checking out the
acpi support on my Compaq Evo n610c. I have the latest bios from
compaq, and I was trying out the 2.6.1 stock kernel. I build the acpi
modules into the kernel. When I pipe a "3" to /proc/acpi/sleep the
system seems to go down just fine. But when I try to power up, she just
lets out a continuous beep. I had to take the battery out to reset it.
Then at as I'm booting, grub freaks out. Somehow, grub.conf was
gone... wtf? grub.conf lives on /hda2, which was never mounted. I
re-wrote grub.conf, but don't really know what happened... where did it
go? why? THe next boot cycle, /hda5 (home) complains, so I fsck it,
and find a few inode problems that I just let fsck fix. Next boot, grub
is completely gone from the boot sector, and the machine boots straight
to Windows! At this point I'm worried big time. I have run all the
compaq diagnostics to see if the disk is messedup - it's not. I
re-installed grub, and I've gone back to 2.6.0. I have not tried echo 3
again. So I have no idea what happened. Seems the laptop freaked out.
anyone else see anything like this before?
On another note, has anywone gotten acpi to *really* work on the n610c???
cheers, Gabe
